Josh Cox Sets New 50k American Record (2:43:45) - Misses World Mark By 7 Seconds

“I think I should have kept the horses in the barn a little longer, but such is hindsight, “ said Cox. “It was a great day. It wasn’t all there, obviously. I would have liked to have run seven seconds faster, but it’s just like two years ago. I wanted to run the world record then. We had a rule in college. Whenever you set a PR, you’re not allowed to say anything negative about the race. You have to be happy with a PR. They don’t come often. I got the American record and I got the title and that’s forever.”

I hope this finds you well. I work with TakTrax (www.yaktrax.com) and I am looking for runners like you to try out some of our new products and offer reviews for us via your blog. I know with the cold winter months facing us, snow and ice can become an issue. That is why our YakTrax products would be great for you in your winter training. If you are interested in receiving some of our products, just send me an email at amber@intrepidmg.com with your shoe size and mailing address and I'll send some our latest products to you.

About Me

I'm a technology entrepreneur who took up trail running and triathloning back in 2001 to get off the work treadmill and see a bit more of the outdoors. I also love to eat, so the exercise helps me justify those extra helpings. ;oP I'm always interested in learning more about trail running - please comment and link away!
